Forget Tennessee

Blue is wrong for roses

The concept goes against expectation

Red, white, pink, yellow,

Even peach are all more acceptable

But blue is for poem violets

Blue are the skies

Blue runs in rivers

So blue are your eyes

Still my eyes are brown as is my skin

And I could not give a damn

What anyone else thinks should be together

So I will have my blue roses

Because you have given them to me

Along with your heart.
